GIS/Geospatial Technology
To effectively plan for and respond to emergencies, decision makers at every level must be able to obtain and analyze information quickly, easily, and correctly. IEM's Geographic Information Systems (GIS) capabilities extend well beyond creating maps. From evacuation time estimates to 3-D modeling of potential terrorist events, IEM's geospatial experts are harnessing critical spatial information to develop synergies for more informed decision making and safer communities.
Strengthens strategic, tactical strategies.
When integrated with IEM's other risk management capacities, GIS can unlock and disseminate spatial data across multiple agencies and jurisdictions. Applied in support of both strategic and tactical objectives, geospatial tools and products can create and help maintain a common operating picture at all levels of government and across multiple jurisdictions. This can be a valuable resource for tracking and maintaining situational awareness in training and exercises.
